Frequently Asked Questions about International School Admission in Singapore

What is the admissions process for international schools in Singapore?

The admissions process for international schools in Singapore typically involves submitting an application form, previous school records, and possibly teacher recommendations. Some schools may also require an assessment or interview to understand the applicant’s academic level and interests.

At The Grange Institution, we aim to make the process as smooth as possible for families, an assigned admissions staff will be guiding you through each step and ensuring a transparent and welcoming experience from the initial inquiry to enrolment.

Admission requirements vary by school, but generally, international schools look for students who are enthusiastic and open to diverse learning experiences. For Singapore citizens, approval from the Ministry of Education (MOE) is required. Additionally, while some schools have specific age or academic level requirements, The Grange places emphasis on each child’s unique qualities, providing equal opportunities for students from all backgrounds and with a range of academic strengths.
It’s advisable to begin the application process as early as possible, ideally several months before the intended start date, as spaces can fill up quickly. At The Grange, we encourage families to contact us well in advance to secure a place and ensure a seamless transition for your child. Early applications also allow time to complete any required assessments, tours, or meet-and-greet sessions with our admissions team.
